It doesn’t get more pathetic than this.
Oh I disagree that the Democrats won’t be more pathetic than this.
"Standing up to trump didnt work… sure republicans were panicking and melting down at the overwhelming support democrats had at the time, literally convinced the GOP was on the verge of extinction, and had the overwhelming majority of people blaming Republicans for it all…
but I didnt want to risk the ACA subsudies actually going through, cause thats what I’ve already built my next campaign around, so we gave trump everything he wanted without getting a single thing"
Very nicely summarized
I’m so glad those who were put in place to speak for me decided to roll over and get ass fucked because why not. These people don’t deserve to show their face in public anymore, what a fucking disgrace.
Walter Masterson has a great video on trolling Chuck Schumer https://youtu.be/GzJBjVwWS6A
P.s. there fixed your algorithm for ya
“Standing Up to Trump Didn’t Work…so I took the money and decided to get out of politics” FTFY
We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
In any other circumstance, this would be the end of the conversation. There’s no point in further conversation because even when their entire job is literally “do nothing”, they refuse to do it. So, you walk away, tell Security to remove them from the building, and let them know all further communication will be done through legal representation.
The fact that this isn’t happening shows that the entire system was doomed to begin with.
They’re not up for reelection next cycle, so they’re already getting fired, it’s just too bad that’s not happening for several months and it already fucked this particular situation and everything behind it (and they’ll do it again before they’re gone).
The Democrats who caved just happened to be all safe in their districts with no upcoming elections. This is strategic like everything in politics. They stood to make more money by caving so it wasn’t just these eight, it was a group decision.
Not solving healthcare will of course work to their advantage. Gotta keep dangling that affordable healthcare carrot. Did you expect them to tackle another big important issue?
I wonder if I am getting little too cynical sometimes but the Democrats always convince I am not.
Uhh, more Americans blamed Republicans and Trump’s approval tanked.
This guy is full of fucking shit. There was no reason relent and it would’ve set Dems up for success next year.
Primary them all.
Just make him a fucking king already then, you spineless mollusks. That’ll make your jobs much easier so you won’t have to make hard decisions like choosing to fight for your constituents.
Well this is pretty much exactly what Republicans needed.
They pitched that they were perfectly willing to be reasonable and the democrats were the crazy ones.
Now they pass an extension, specifying to block the non-existent illegal immigrant gap and say “see, we were ready to take care of the people, but the democrats forced things to be bad, and these few democrats reluctantly came over which just proves they were in the wrong”
Another chunk of what I assume is their strategy: Make 2025 bad in ways to make it easier to make 2026 feel great by comparison.
These traitors need to be removed from office.
Fucking christ, I hate Neoliberals
Remember how well “if you can’t fight them, join them!” worked for all of those people in Nazi Germany and WW2? Definitely caving in to the Nazis was a smart move…
Trump is a loser piece of shit wannabe Nazi, you don’t cave to Nazis, you fight them at all costs because caving is always worse than you think it is.
How the fuck would he know?
Senator Angus King is in the Trump/Epstein files confirmed.
Being a democrat is like having commanding officers most of which cannot grasp which end of a gun the bullets come from.
It’s not stupidity or cowardice, the dems who voted to reopen are doing this on purpose. Their interests dont align with the well being of the vast majority of Americans.
Ok…after today, It’s possible I may need to retract that a little.
Did King really believe this, or were there other reasons why he caved? His son, Angus King III, is running for governor of Maine, and Senator King’s decision may have been a misguided attempt to help him. King is also not up for reelection until 2030, so perhaps he thought he could escape electoral consequences.
Isn’t the election already over? How does caving now help? And if the gubernatorial election hasn’t happened yet, well, vote for the other Democratic candidate, I guess?
